Cost of tickets before luggage fee = 1250
Cost of tickets after luggage fee = 1400
So,
Luggage fee will be = 1400 - 1250
= 150
Increase in tickets cost = 150
Percentage increase in tickets cost is given by
%age increase = [ Increase in cost / Original Cost ] x 100
Original cost = 1250
%age increase = 150/1250 x 100
%age increase = 3/25 x 100
%age increase = 3 x 4 = 12
Therefore, the percentage increase in cost of tickets is 12%
